Texas Rep. Nicole Collier (D), who caught the national spotlight after choosing to sleep in the state capitol rather than accept a police escort, was ordered off a press call organized by the DNC today.
Collier dialed into the Zoom call — which also featured DNC Chairman Ken Martin, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Sen. Cory Booker — from a Capitol restroom as the floor debate over Texas’ GOP gerrymander echoed in the background.
Collier interrupted as Martin was responding to a press question, saying she was being ordered to end the call. “It’s a felony for me to do this, apparently?” Collier said before seeming to address someone off camera. “I can’t be on the floor or in the bathroom? You told me I was only allowed to be here, in the bathroom.”
